Description

This is our so-called presidential Suite. It’s 25 m2, very bright and has views of the Shard and the City. It includes a floor bed, a sofa, wardrobe space and of course wireless Internet access. The flat, which is very comfortable, has everything you need, including wireless Internet, a shared bathroom, kitchen, microwave, washing machine, fridge and a back garden. You also have your own key, so you can look your room.

The flat is 200 meters from New Cross Gate Station, which gives you access to the Overground and the mainline railway (Note: the Overground is connected to the tube/underground - it just runs over ground - all tickets are valid). There are also numerous buses, which pass the flat and go straight to central London, including several night buses, so you can always get home no matter what time of night!

You can be in Trafalgar Square (by train) in just 15 minutes. The vibrant and eclectic area of Shoreditch is also just 15 minutes on the Overground. The location is ideal for any tourist or person working in central London!

So far all the guests in the flat have been very nice, interesting and very respectful of one another. I believe that they have all enjoyed their stay. The apartment is maintained daily to a high standard.

In the local area you will find everything you need for a great stay; there are 24 hour food shops, cafes, restaurants, a big supermarket (Sainsbury’s) and bars all within walking distance to the flat. The flat is very close to Goldsmith University campus, so could be an ideal base if you are visiting the university for a conference.

The apartment is really convenient if you are visiting the Olympic games this summer. It is just 20 minutes by bus to Greenwich were a number of events are taking place, and just 20 minutes to the stadium at Stratford, via the Overground and Jubilee Line.

This is a good. alterative to expensive hotels. The rooms are clean and simple.
We didnt get to see sidney but she always replied to Our questions quite promtly.
All in all a good experience, very basic but satisfactory. Especially because it really is only 7 minutes to London Bridge which We loved.

The apartment is a little bit far from the city. It takes 5minutes walk to the train station ( Lower Ground then connect to Underground Station). Though it's a far and have to change twice trains but the trains come every 5minutes so it makes the journey became so fast to arrive. We stayed in level 4 and we had a big suitcases so we found its very difficult to climb up and came down with heavy suitcases. The floor, kitchen and toilet is dirty. The toilet doesnt have a hook to hang the clothes or tower. The water was very hot in the shower and there was one day the hot water didnt work well and we had to shower with cold water. The shower definitely need to be fixed. If you look for a budget accommodation in London and no fuss with the distance and climbing the stair this would be for you.

Sidney's flat is clean n cosy. Throughout our 5 nights stay there, we did not have the chance to meet up with the host.
The kettle in the kitchen is recommended to replace because it has been crystalized inside. Probably other guest in the unit are fine with it.
The bath tub is a little high for me though.. Hahaha..

The apartment is a bit dirty. I think it is needed to change the carpet.. In general is accurate and although is not close to the center, train station is only 2 min far and it takes to the center in 20 min. Sidney explain you how to go into the apartment and you don't need her anymore

very poor place. Climb 4 floors everyday, can't sleep as 8 tracks of train is next to the building.
First of all when you book this place, they don't mention the address. Secondly after booking they tell you go to top floor by stairs but they didn't mention we have to climb 4 floors from stairs. The condition of the building and room is very poor. In photographs, it looks great but its completely opposite in reality. pictures must be very old.

Is is railway bridge next to the building and there are 8 railway tracks on it and every minute the train comes and pass from there. So there is no peace of mind at all. You can't sleep at all in your room. The nearest Underground line Lamberth North is closed until next year so there is no near metro station.

If you planning to climb 4 floors after long day walking in the city then you can choose this place. If you planning to be awake all night then you can choose this place. Trust me you can't sleep at all here.

My mother is very old and it was like climbing Everest for her everyday. This place sound like near to London eye but you will afraid to come back for rest during day as you have to climb 4 floors to get into your room.

I will never come this place again and it was just a scam, hiding vital information about this place. They didn't mention about 4 floors to climb by stairs and about 8 tracks of railway line next to the building.

Excellent value for money. The accommodation is basic, but clean and well looked after. Very clear instructions on how to get in. Transport from here is excellent to a range of places in London. I am verybpleased to have found this and would be happy to stay here again.
